Nº 01 — A reading site of moving stories
Lacrima
Stories that leave warmth after the tears.
Lacrima, from the Latin for "tear", is a reading site of moving stories. A new story about family, love, friendship or pets is published every day. The stories are written in Japanese.
Stories that leave you a little kinder after the tears.
About
Reading one story at the end of the day can be enough to loosen a tense heart. I made Lacrima as a place for that time.
I read every story and refine its wording before it is published. They range from short pieces to long ones of more than three thousand characters. The site is in Japanese.
You can follow themes such as family, love, friendship and pets, or turn to collections of long stories alone. Every story is free to read, and a single act of support hides ads for good.
Each title and its first few lines are shaped so that you can tell what scene a story begins in. On the train, or in the moments before sleep, start with whichever one catches your eye.
Themes
- FamilyDays with parents, grandparents and siblings
- Love and marriageFeelings shared with partners
- FriendshipMoments with friends and colleagues
